Kitchen "Candy" ~ Or, Look What I Just Got!

The higher oxalic acid greens are spinach, swiss chard, and beet greens. The others aren't high in it.
This summer the deer, the white albino (even eyes and nose) deer came (and continues to come) to eat the garden. It even bit through netting to eat the beets. It ate the high oxalate greens but NOT the rest, it was so funny. It would step around and eat around the regular greens that I had mixed in, the bok choi, the kale, and the mustard greens. It decimated the chard and beets.
It nibbled the okra, when I look up okra, they are moderate in oxalates. It ate the bean plants (w/o beans) to the ground in many areas, but I couldn't find data on green bean plants.
It must be something the deer needs, or at least this special protected deer.

bliss, have you thought about getting in touch with your Wild Life services? Perhaps they would have a suggestion to help you keep the deer fed but out of your garden. I understand the life expectancy of albino creatures is not very high.

That's what is nice about using kale that way. It still has flavour and texture. It actually tastes pretty good when it doesn't overwhelm, which it doesn't in the soup.

I replace kale with spinach

Not at all.

Uh oh, we've done it again. From kitchen gadgets to leafy greens in one page, all because of a salad spinner.

I love all greens. Kale in Zuppa Tuscana is awesome!

I’ve been wanting to get elongated Dutch oven for a while now. This one a bit larger than I was thinking, but for $49 really can’t get wrong and can’t complain.

Forgot to mentioned, it came from Sam's club.

CharlieD · Oct 14, 2024

Separately, I’m definitely in trouble now.
I think I’m just going to hide it in the drawer, so my wife will not see or know.
Love these knives, Victorinox.

Charlie, that's a nice oven Dutch oven.

I'm afraid you have a serious problem with collecting knives

. As long as I've known you, you've been buying knives and hiding them from your wife. How many do you have?

@Andy M. His wife sounds like a most devoted kind of woman and wife to him. She probably had cabinets built, some to hold the knives she's not supposed to know about, and the top drawer are the knives she openly knows about. Love bears all things.

dragnlaw · Oct 14, 2024

Charlie you must have hidden drawers inside the drawers. LOL - only way I can think of for you to get away with it.
Your wife knows of course, but as long as they stay hidden she'll keep on pretending she doesn't know.
And I'll bet the hidden drawers will be amazing just like all your other beautiful wood projects you've shown us.

Not that many compare to other people, about 40, well more like 45. I'm not counting small paring knives and couple of cheap Chinees cleavers.

Well, to be honest these 3 knives are Two to replace on chicken knife that has handle that is falling apart, it is one of those restaurant quality knives with soft grip handles that do not last for ever. Though knife itself is pretty good. And the chef knife I am taking with me to the soup kitchen I volunteer in.

Those Victorinox Fibrox knives are great, and the prices are amazing!

Okay, probably one of lamest items in this entire thread, but I'm really excited to have bought this cool butter dish that is apparently air-tight and even has little notches on the tray of the dish that guides you for cutting tablespoon sizes for when you place an unwrapped stick of butter into it. Watched a few review videos and people say they love it and would buy it again.

The reason for purchasing this is because, well, I needed a keeper for stick butter. But also because I've recently decided to stop spending copious amounts of money on tub butter and buy the sticks instead, since they're more economical. That and Kroger this week has a sale going on with their 4-packs of stick butter that, if you buy 3 or more, each package is $2.49 instead of $4.49. So I saved two bucks a package. They are now in my freezer until I'm ready to grab out another stick.

Little things like this excite me. Guess maybe I'm just getting old :ermm:

There's a button for inserting links. You can even tell it what you want the link to say.

Love it. Ordered one for DIL present. Funnily enough there were 2 listings - one for 49$ and the other (exactly the same) 20$. Guess which one I got.
